Sink repair for Woodham homes

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Sink repair at your home in Woodham

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Woodham

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

We work UK-wide, so Woodham is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Woodham.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodham

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
